Union county farmers say that at least
one-third of the cotton bolls have failed
to mature and have rotted on the atalk,
on account of much rain in the last two
weeks.
The iron, lime, and coal deposits on
the upper end of the Cape Fear and Vat

attention from abroad.
Captain A. NJ. Smith, proprietor of the
Pomona TeTa-Cotta Pipe and Tile
Works, at Westgreen near this city, has
Just gone up the road in the vicinity of
Walnut Cove to make an investigation
of tie above-named minerals in answer
to inquiries from parties In Ohio, who
will establish a plant for the develop

favorable.
A goodly proportion of the State press
is already raising q considerable buzz
over the name Of Mr.. j. S. Carr, of Dur
ham, for the next Governor OF North
Carolina. He Will make a good one, no
doubt, as his friends claim for him every
qualification necessary, but strangely
enough he has never yet been made a

his favor.
A tobacco boom has at last struck the
Anticipated town of Salisbury. She has

Elections IN Other States.

Several northern States also held ex-
citing elections yesterday. Ohio is
joined to her malignant idols, and the
result there was a foregone conclusion.
In Rhode Island an election was held
for congressman and the Republican
candidate was chosen. This result as
sumesimportance only inthe contingency
that the election of President should be
thrown into the House. Massachusetts,
reports Republican gains, and the news
from the other Republican States is what
might have been expected. On the other
hand. New York is in the Democratic
column by majority which, all things
considered, is NEST encouraging To
sum up. what with the result in Virginia,
Maryland, and New York a good days
work was done for the Democracy.

Serious Trouble In Tennessee.
(By telegraph - the Dispatch.

CHICAGO, November 8. Aspecial from
Chattanooga, Tenn, says: A telegram
from Soddy, a mining town twenty-five
miles from this city, says the mountain
GERS have armed themselves and are
marching against the negroes Of that
town. This has aroused the negroes,
and they have all armed themselves and
are waiting the approach of the offensive
party. The sheriff with a posse has gone
to the scene of the trouble. Great ex-
element prevails, and the women and
children have taken refuge at one end OF
the town. Soddy is a Welch mining
town of 900 people and about about 2OC
negroes are employed at the coke ovens.
The trouble has grown out of fight be-
tween a negro and white man, in which
the latter suffered. The mountaineers
now threaten to take the darkey or kill
the whole colored population.

A sagacious Dog.

have a little silver-mounted Malacca
cane that ! sometimes carry when walk
ing out with the dogs. This stick Smith
IA Dachshund) is never allowed to carry,
as his teeth would leave too many traces
behind and his most eloquent plead
ings to have it "just once" are always
met With steady denial. One day had
accidently left this cane lying upon the
lawn, and l saw from an upper window
struggle OF Smiths conscience over his
wishes that really did him the greatest
credit.
AS he was playing about the lawn by
himself he suddenly came unaware upon
this long-coveted treasure. lie stopped
and stared at it eagerly, and then looked
carefully round him. was hidden be-
hind the window-curtain and there was
nobody in sight. Then began the battle
with himself, He looked at the stick (;
he smelt it carefully all the way long {;
he drew back little to gaze at
II. and licked his lips with the
delight Of anticipation. Then he APP
preached and smelt it once more.
and it seemed Just as if lie must take it
and pull it TO pieces, as he loves TO do.
But all of sudden his better nature
came TO his aid. He turned his back
upon temptation, and sat down with his
head the other way, guarding the trea-
sure till his mistress should claim 1t, but
not touching himself what he knew he
was not allowed TO have.
This may seem a small victory to those
who do not know Smiths passion for a
stick, but such of his friends who are
aware OF this trait will appreciate his
self-restraint.
Smith is very unsel6sh, too, and gives
many proofs of this in his dealings with
other dogs. We have little visitor with
us Just nova very small pure-bred
Dachshund-called Fritz, whose master
and mistress are abroad. Little Fritz
has not much character Of his own, and
the chief individual trait he has de-
veloped is an alteration of Smith, which
is little overpOwering to its object.
Whenever Smith lies down to sleep
Fritz snuggles himself beside him
and makes a pillow of his broad back.
He follows him like shadow. sits by him
at meal times, and divides his food with
him, Smith yielding up, in the most an
gelic way, meny morsels thrown to him.
He also extends this infatuation to
Smiths possessions, and looks upon
them as his. Smith has treasured ken
mel OF his own-a kennel that he loves
with his whole heart. 1t is small cask
that stands raised upon bricks under the
mounting platform in the yard. 1t has
south aspect, gets all the sun, com
mands the stable-yard, and from its ele-
waited position gives to its possessor a
pleasant sense Of dignity.

French Caunterreiirrs,

A very clever capture OF a gang OF
coiners has been effected by NJ. Goron,
of the Paris detective department. For
some time past numbers of bad 5-franc
pieces, bearing the efigy OF Victor
Emmanuel, have been in circulation on
the left bank Of the Seine, and the
trades-people, who had been duped TO a
large extent, informed the police, who
set to work to discover the coiners.
Through some mysterious agency,
known onl, to sharp french detectives,

NJ Goron kept watch on a desolate and
detached house in the hlalakoff locality.
The people dwelling in the VI
cinity OF this gloomy building
had long believed that 1t was
uninhabited and given over TO the owls
and other nocturnal fowls. In the small
hours Of Yesterday morning, just as the
cocks were beginning to crow around the
dark and lonely house, the detective OH,
Ger and four assistants took cabs and
drove out TO It. After having ineiiectu-
ally rung the bell and banged at the
door OF the mysterious mansion, VI. 10.
ron pnt one of his men upon the roof oil
the house to see if he could effect an en-
trance a Ia mode Santa Claus. The man
succeeded in finding way into the
dwelling, and surprised the band OF
coiners in the midst OF their work. -Four
OF them were arrested and the rest es-
capped. The conduct OF the policemen
was most daring, for the coiners were nu-
mcrous enough to have overpowered the
detectives.

Incauainris,n An nrbuoue.

CHICAGO, Ill, November IA spe-
cial from Dubuque, Iowa, dated No
vember Gth, says Last night several
further attempts were made to start fires
in different parts of the city, and the
anxiety of property holders naturally
increases. Two men attempted to gain
an entrance into Knapp, Stout & Co. S
MIL Office by forcing the window-latches.
As they were about to enter an officer
intercepted them and chased one,
but failed TO capture him. Knapp,
Stout d Co. suffered loss
of $4,000 by an incendiary fire
the night previous. In the main yard of
this company two places were found
where light kindling saturated with ben
zine had been placed under piles OF sea
soned lumber. In Robinson's lumber
yard similar arrangements had been
made. The plan Was undoubtedly to
fire all the lumber-yards at once and
thus destroy the business and manufactu-
ring portion OF the city. Extra patrol
men were put on guard to-day and many
citizens will watch tonight. The lum-
ber-men are greatly alarmed. Their in
surance is likely to be cancelled at any
moment. One firm is said to have closed
down until the danger is over.

The Anarchists will for the next two or
three days claim from the general public
of this whole country that attention
which has for some time been accorded
to them in Illinois.
There is a painful interest felt in the
cases Of these Anarchists. What is the
occasion of it? Why shOuld people con-
Germ themselves more about those des-
perate criminals than tho men who are
10 be hanged here, there, and every
where all over the land during
the next two or three weeks? la
s.general way, we may say that it must
be because there are seven persons to be
executed at once at the same place The
sentimental, sympathetic, apprehensiye
members Of the community cannot bear
the strain upon their nerves involved III
the execution of seven men at once. III
seven criminals had to be hanged on the
day after tomorrow in seven different
States, there would be no outcry, no ex-
element, no painful apprehensions.
Human nature is a queer compound.
Probably f'fiy persons so to their long
account every day in the year in Chi
cage. This fact attracts no attention.
II is according 10 the order of nature.
II is, we repeat. the fact that there are
30 many persons to be put to death at
one place aud one time that has caused
the widespread interest which is mani.
tested in the hte OF the Chicago Anarch.
lists.
What will Governor OGLEsBY do under
these circumstances? Is he likely to be
moved by the appeals with which he is
overwhelmed? TO give an answer
would be merely TO make guess. Our
own belief is that he will feel himself
compelled by sense of duty TO allow
The executions TO take place. He is at
Springfield. There he is free to study
he problem without too much inter
ruption. There be is surrounded by
population entirely different from that in
Chicago. There he will be able TO come
70 a conclusion uninfuenced by any con-
sideration that ought not to affect his
conduct a. Governor 1t is possible that
he may commute the punishment of two
or three Of the least guilty, If any such
there be- to liie-:erm in the peaiten-
tiwy. We say we consider this as bare I

A Teamster's Lneh IN OIL and Bad

"See that old fellow on the wagon ?"
asked Curt Robinson yesterday, OF the
Oil CITY Derrick. "That is Sandy
williamson. Heis driving q team now for
liSng. and back in 1865 he was worth
5000, coo. Got his money i'll queer way,
too. He was hauling for an oil company
that was operating near the mouth OF
Cherry Run. The company was In hard
luck and gave Sandy an eighth in well
they were drilling for six months wages
they owed him. Sandy was hard up for
the money, but he thought that was a
pretty good gamble and he accepted the
proposition. The well had a long fishing
Job, and Sandy offered his interest in it
to me and others tor 500, but we didn't
have the nerve to take it. The well
came II big and he sold his eighth for
Sl5O, 600 cash, after selling his share OF
the production for a month or six weeks
for go barrel. Sandy went to Dublin
TO visit his parents, fixed the old folks
no in nice little business. and continued
on tour around the world At Bombay
he bought an elephant without having
any use for the beast, and it died the
next day, Sandy said, of collie. From
that day he had no luck When he came
home he went to Specializing in stocks,
and was cleaned ont in six months He
went back to driving a team and he is
still at it. Williamson firmly believes
that the elephant 'hoodooed him, and
that il he hadn't boughtit he would be
rich man to-day"
